One of this man's novels describes Bruce Dudley leaving his wife and floating down the Mississippi River. Hemingway's The Torrents of Spring is a parody of that novel, Dark Laughter. In a short story by this man, the narrator's father displays preserved mutant chickens in his restaurant and is laughed at by Joe Kane when he can't perform a trick with the title object, "The Egg." Doctor Reefy erects "little pyramids of truth" in the slips of paper he is always writing on and stuffing in his pocket in another story, "Paper Pills," which appears in a book whose framing chapter tells of an old man who has "listed hundreds of truths" in his book of grotesques. Reporter George Willard reappears in several of that work's chapters, in the last one leaving his title hometown for the big city. For 10 points, name this author of Winesburg, Ohio.
